If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Trump is a titanic f*ck up, part a million.

This level of incoherence about things that matter would generate a call for removal in every other major institution in the Western world other than the American Presidency.

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

JD Vance (2024): " All of the really terrible world conflicts, they almost always come from incompetent leadership...You can't just think about the immediate consequence. You've gotta ask yourself, 'what is the second order and the third order consequence?'"

“.. Here's a fun fact: The United States now has fewer manufacturing jobs today (12.573M) than it did in March 2018 (12.576M) when Trump first started his tariff wars:”

Trump is a titanic f*ck up, part a million.

New Quinnipiac poll shows Trump continuing to crater:

37-57 overall approval
39-58 on economy
38-57 on handling of Iran

The kicker: 55% say Iran did NOT pose an imminent threat to the US, while only 39% say it did

He's really settling in at that 38% number on many fronts, isn't he

In an ideal world, the guy who controls the nukes and the village idiot would be two separate people.

open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc.... No surprise that the hateful moron who bankrupted his own casino should go on to bankrupt the world. The 78 million who voted for the orange 🍊 king were conned by his vows to avoid war

This sort of thing is always hit with, "LOL he doesn't care he'll never face voters again." In fact, he does care. He has privately said he fears being impeached by a Dem House. And I don't know who I need to tell this to, but presidential approval matters in midterms.

We are a very stupid country

Trump: "Kamala would get us into World War III…All of your sons and daughters will end up getting a draft notice, a thing called the draft. 'Dad, what's this?' 'Oh, congratulations, you've been drafted into the military. You're going to fight a war.'"

Trump: "I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars…Under Trump we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace for all…I am the candidate of peace, I am peace."

Vance: " If you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Donald Trump."

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Hilary too. Too bad the majority won’t listen to smart women

Trump's Disastrous New War Spirals Out Of Control Prices shocks from Trump's new war have begun battering an American economy and American consumers already battered by his reckless policies

Trump's disastrous new war has already spun out of control.

The damage it is going to do to the US and global economies is going to be significant.

In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

‼️‼️‼️ Renee Good did NOT deserve to have her brains blown out in front of her dog for not complying with armed vigilantes who were terrorizing HER community.

You simply arrest, fine and release.

YOU DO NOT MURDER!
ARREST ICE AGENT ROSS NOW ‼️‼️‼️

GOOD has become the party of death, economic collapse and human rights abuses

Israel’s Netanyahu is calling the shots.
American taxpayers are financing it.
Innocent people, including Iranian schoolgirls, are dying.
Vote out every Republican before they finish destroying all we hold dear.

No matter how bad markets may get, there’s always Melania Coin. 🤡

"Americans are seeing the real “America First” agenda up close—militarism, imperialism, malign nationalism, unabashed authoritarianism—and they’re recoiling."
Greg Sargent's latest.

The president, breathing heavily and caked with makeup, is incoherently blaming Iran for the October 7 attacks by Hamas

Trump allows Russians to interfere in our elections. He does nothing when they pay bounties on our soldiers, and now he doesn’t care when Russia helps Iran kill Americans. A weak President.
